THE WEDDING QUILT

Today is the day. I started the Wedding Quilt. The bride to be just loves fall colours so the first thing that popped into my head was a Modern Maples quilt. This way, I can include all her favourites.

I looked a few places for a background fabric that would be suitable. Now I would have loved a light fabric with text print all over to make it modern, but this quilt isn't about me. So, I decided on this one because I think what it says is so fitting for the Newlyweds. It's called 'Home to Roost' for Red Rooster fabrics.

This piece is my inspiration fabric and I have started dumping out bins and baskets looking for fall colours.

This is going to be a lovely wedding quilt. I love your modern design of falling autumn leaves. How appropriate is your text fabric to a couple starting their journey of domestic bliss together!! Love it!!

About Me

First of all I'm a wifey, a mother to 6 grown children, grandma to 4, and owner of Knit2 Yarns in Kamloops, B.C. Knitting has been part of my life since I was eight years old when a teacher taught me how. Quilting is the other hobby that takes my time. I love them both.
